| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field divided into two registers by a horizontal line, bearing a two-line Persian legend in bold Nasta'liq script giving the mint name and regnal year. The upper register displays the mint epithet, while the lower register contains the hijri year numeral in Arabic-Indic script. Small pellet ornaments are disposed symmetrically in the field, and a crescent device appears near the rim, consistent with standard Mughal rupee iconography. The flan edges are irregular, characteristic of the hand-hammered production technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II spent much of his reign as a prisoner or puppet — first under the Marathas, then under the British after Buxar in 1764. The coins struck in his name circulated across a shrinking empire he barely controlled, issued from mints that increasingly operated under the authority of regional powers rather than Delhi. After 1803, when the British took formal custody of his person, his regnal name continued to appear on coinage largely as a legal fiction maintained for political convenience.
The long date range of this type reflects that fiction more than any continuity of imperial rule.
